i think bf2 is really lacking in the fact that you can only fit 6 people in a squad-- and that only squads exist, meaning i wish there was a platoon option (32 soldiers) two platoons on a 64 player map would be pretty interesting

yeah..platoon *looks around* -
Re: Squads
I hear ya! But I can imagine that that limit came from the simple fact of limited bandwidth for VOIP. When I get in a squad of 4 and theres a lot of voip chatter (even if only from 2 players), it gets to be distracting fast. Thats why I prefer textchat for comms (see another thread of mine about that).
However, I do think that larger squads would be cool (even though its hard enough already to find 4 players that work well together on public servers :cry: ).
:hmm: A possible solution to the 'over-chatter' in VOIP with >6 people in a squad would be to limit VOIP time for each user to like 15 seconds in 2 minutes (or so). Then you can give short answers, and make a proposition once in a while, without over-miking eachother all the time.
I'm afraid the new patch will demotivate people from joining a squad even more: i'd be tempted to make my own squad a lot if that prevents me from being team-swapped (one of the most annoying things in the world
!).

Re: Squads
nice idea.... maybe allow 4 platoons on a 64 man, 2 on a 32, etc... something like that.
There are times we've had 8-10 guys in TS, between clanmates and friends, and it sucks not having all of them in 1 squad...the 2nd squad comes up blue just like any other lone player, so bleh.
But if you could drop 2-3 squads under a platoon, that'd be nice...Comment

Re: Squads
So you don't need support and medic on those runs? I find it much easier with them.Originally posted by DezemoDovaComment
